Also don't keep stuff in your trunk unless you don't care if you ever see it again. If that is the case then you are better off leaving it by the curb so your trunk lock doesn't get broken.
You can CERTAINLY keep things in your trunk as long as you don't come back to the car and add bags to it so others can see what's in there. Now that would be a huge mistake.
As for the $65 ticket, you were lucky. That could have been MUCH worse. Your car wasn't towed. Be happy you got away with just $65.
